Members of MWC Fittings Limited passed written resolutions on 2 June 2026 to wind the company up voluntarily, with Nicholas Stafford of Hazlewoods LLP appointed liquidator the same day. The process is a creditors' voluntary liquidation, an insolvent winding-up resolved by a company's own members without a court order.
MWC Fittings manufactured shopfitting and display equipment, trading from Units A1 and A2 on Stirling Road, South Marston, Swindon. Its registered office is recorded at 4th Floor, Llanthony Warehouse, The Docks, Gloucester. The company was incorporated on 25 October 1999.
The resolution
The members passed two written resolutions on 2 June 2026. The first resolved that MWC Fittings Limited be wound up voluntarily. The second appointed Stafford as liquidator. Both resolutions were signed by Lisa Jane Wooldridge in her capacity as director and published in the London Gazette on 11 June 2026.
The liquidator appointment
Stafford, whose office holder number is 27270, practises from Hazlewoods LLP at Staverton Court, Staverton, Cheltenham. Creditors wishing to make contact can reach the firm by telephone on 01242 680000 or by email at creditors@hazlewoods.co.uk. The notice names Gina Clare as the contact for day-to-day correspondence.
The officers
David Adrian Bowers has been a director since the company's incorporation on 25 October 1999. Jonathan Andrew Bowers and Wooldridge were both appointed directors on 25 August 2011. Janet Susan Bowers has served as company secretary since 23 May 2002.
Paul Richard Carter held both the director and company secretary roles from incorporation, with both appointments recorded as ending on 23 May 2002. Jonathan Andrew Bowers was appointed and resigned as secretary on the same date, 23 May 2002, a standard incorporation arrangement. Energize Director Limited and Energize Secretary Limited were each appointed and resigned on 25 October 1999, also formation-agent placeholders at incorporation.
Secured creditor
Clydesdale Bank PLC holds an outstanding debenture created on 16 November 2011, giving it a fixed and floating charge over the undertaking and all property and assets of MWC Fittings, present and future. The charge covers goodwill, book debts, uncalled capital, buildings, fixtures, and fixed plant and machinery. A floating charge of this kind hovers over changing asset classes until it crystallises on insolvency, at which point it attaches to whatever assets exist at that moment.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Mwc Fittings Limited?
In a creditors' voluntary liquidation you are an unsecured creditor unless you hold a registered charge or retention of title. The liquidators will write to known creditors with a proof-of-debt form. A statement of affairs prepared by the directors and the chair of the creditors' decision procedure should be available on request. Read more about proof of debt and where you sit in the creditor hierarchy.
Did you work at Mwc Fittings Limited?
In a CVL, employees are typically dismissed at or shortly after the liquidator's appointment. Wages owed up to a statutory cap, holiday pay, notice pay and redundancy may be claimable from the Redundancy Payments Service. The liquidators will normally provide RP1 case-reference numbers to the affected staff. See gov.uk: your rights if your employer is insolvent.
Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from Mwc Fittings Limited?
Customers with paid-but-undelivered orders, gift cards or deposits rank as unsecured creditors in the liquidation. Where you paid by credit card and the amount was over £100, Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 may let you claim from the card issuer for breach of contract or misrepresentation by the supplier; the rules apply per item, not per transaction, and the card must be a regulated credit card. Debit-card payments may be recoverable via chargeback.
Are you a director of a company connected to Mwc Fittings Limited?
Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 applies the moment the company enters liquidation. If you intend to be involved in another company using the same or a similar name within five years, you must rely on one of the three statutory exceptions and file the relevant notice. Acting in breach is a criminal offence and exposes you to personal liability for the successor's debts.
